INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Brave Software has finally kicked off its alternative ad concept by rolling out one form of Brave Ads and tying them to "payments" based on
users agreeing to view those ads.Users who volunteer to see the ads will be given 70% of the revenue the ads generated, not in cash but in
BATs, or Basic Attention Tokens, the crypto-backed currency that drives the Brave economy
Users cannot exchange BATs for physical currency, although Brave said it is working on not only that, but also on ways to redeem the BATs
for perks and other rewards, such as vouchers and gift cards.[ Related: Get serious about privacy with the Epic, Brave and Tor browsers ]The
latest version of Brave - 0.63.48 - is required to opt in to the ad-and-BATs scheme
The browser is based on Chromium, the Google-led open-source project that produces the core technologies used by Google's own Chrome, Opera
Software's Opera and at some point, Microsoft's Edge.
